Dry Rifting in the Albertine-Rhino graben, Uganda (DRIAR)
REFNo: NS322ES
Our project objectives are to (1) map the lithospheric and mantle structure below segments of the rift in the northern Western Branch, (2) map magma melt depth, thickness and spatial distribution along the rift, (3) map the rift and fault architecture and determine their relationship to rifting, (4) determine fault communication with deep magma sources via volatiles and gas chemistries, (5) provide constraints on surface motions and rift opening rates from GPS measurements, and (6) test the three hypotheses with numerical models. During this project we will:
1. Use magnetotellurics (MT), gravity and passive source seismology to determine variations in lithospheric thickness, mantle-flow or frozen lithospheric anisotropy, and to assess the presence or absence of melt at depth.
2. Use magnetics, gravity, and seismology to determine the thermal structure and thickness of the crust beneath the rift zone.
3. Constrain surface motions with new GNSS observations.
4. Collect geomorphic samples for Quaternary geochronology for landforms cut and offset by the rift-bounding faults to determine their fault slip rates.
5. Use industry seismic reflection data acquired over the Albertine-Rhino graben to investigate fault evolution and strain migration through time.
6. Conduct field observations to examine the geometry and kinematics of rift related structures for the Albertine-Rhino Graben and Precambrian structures to evaluate the possible presence of a Precambrian suture zone that was reactivated during rift evolution.
7. Use the geochemistry of hot springs and measurements of magmatic gas fluxes along the border faults to establish the presence or absence of shallow magma chambers and the presence of magmatic volatiles-assisted faulting, while also quantifying variability of tectonic CO2 flux to the atmosphere from the northern Western Branch of EARS
8. Incorporate the above observations into a geodynamic model that test hypotheses about the role of melts beneath magma-poor rifts and how variations in lithospheric thickness and asthenospheric flow or the properties of the lithosphere relate to strain localization.
The different rift basins of the northern segment of the Western Branch of EARS exhibit distinct geomorphological features from south to north that are probably controlled by processes operating in the asthenosphere and lithosphere. Thus, a field experiment designed to investigate the along axis variability of the lithosphere and upper mantle structure along this entire segment from Lake Edward in the south to the Rhino graben in the north and its termination against the Aswa Shear Zone will provide critical insights on geodynamic processes operating in the asthenosphere, lithosphere, and at the surface which drive magma poor rifting.

REFNo: HS1872ES
Aim 1: Explore how and why heterosexual men and women disclose HIV to sexual partners. We will purposively sample up to 40 PLWH stratified approximately equally by reported prior HIV disclosure to sexual partner(s) and gender to participate in qualitative in-depth interviews. Interviews will focus on HIV disclosure beliefs, intentions, and behaviors with an emphasis on gender norms, incomplete disclosure, HIV co-morbidities (e.g., STIs), and disclosure preferences. ,
